Valve plans to greelight another 10 games by end of month

Despite having given the greenlight thumbs up to over 30 games already, Valve has announced that due to the pace of voting on the crowd platform at the moment, it expects to see another 10 ready for Steam addition by the end of the month.

On top of this announcement, Valve also expects to debut the first “graduating class,” of software, with five of them set to be available by 30th November.

Despite this positive news for those chosen developers however, would you be interested to know how many Greenlit games have actually been released, despite their acceptance onto the Steam platform? Two. Just two. Giana Sisters and McPixel. That's out of 31 titles so far given approval.

How many of the upcoming ten can we expect to be actually available for play on the 30th? Given recent trends, no more than than one. Still, Valve has tried to combat this a little by adding the concept section to Greenlight, where games in their early stages can be showcased.

KitGuru Says: I think Greenlight is a great idea, but I'd like to see Valve giving a bit more notice to games that are actually finished. Giving Steam access to future games is awesome, but finished games that are ready to go should get some sort of precedence I think. Anyone with me there?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
